Russia,just like China, has never colonised a single African state you dumb upnd cadre. That is because they respect Africans and see us as their equals. Go read your history and see what those imperialists did to your fore mothers. Raped them

Kaizar Zulu, you have already said enough about your love for Vladimir Putin and Russia in your comments on other articles. Dictators who have caused untold human carnage and destroyed infrastructure are your heroes. The USA has never been an imperialist country … it is Putin and Russia that are pursuing a policy of colonizing and subjugating neighbouring countries by force.
Kisumpa I think it is a fact to say USA is no better than Russia in their foreign policies. They may all have not colonized any African country but let us be truthful, the USA has sponsored a lot of wars and caused suffering to many countries in Africa and Middle East. But let us put our development agenda as a country based on foreign countries who are simply there to exploit Africa.
When these blacks go to the USA, it’s like there are not there…no welcome party, no pomp…no dancers, no acrobatics. Only a low ranking officer is there to meet them.
They must be tired of the dancers. I am sure they were treated to the same in Ghana and TZ. I am also questioning the need of the other ministers, our VP and our Second Gentleman would have been enough of a receiving party.
Did Harris speak at the Democracy Summit? This article doesn’t say anything about that.
Criminals and looters are in cry for my beloved country.
